The role of the principal in restoring the culture of teaching and learning : an instructional management perspectiveNemukula, Fhatuwani Joseph 11 1900 (has links)
One of the challenges facing the education system in South Africa is a lack of the culture
of teaching and learning. It is this challenge that prompted this research. The research
investigated how the principaL as an instructional leader, can restore the culture of teaching
and learning in previously disadvantaged schools. A qualitative approach was used and three schools
were selected in the Sambandou Circuit of the Northern Province.
The research results showed that there are general and management factors that
contribute to a lack of the culture of teaching and learning. Management factors include, amongst
others, lack of staff development programmes and discipline. The general factors, on the
other hand, include amongst others, poor physical conditions and infrastructure in schools.
In conclusion, the research recommended, amongst others, that principals conduct staff development
programmes and supervise the work of educators and learners / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Education Management)

The impact of the principal's instructional leadership on the culture of teaching and learning in the schoolBudhal, Richi 11 1900 (has links)
Recently it has been noticed that there is a marked decline in the culture of teaching and
learning (COLT) in sortie of the schools in the KwaZulu Natal province. An investigation was
undertaken to check whether the instructional leadership of school principals was a contributory
factor to this decline.
A literature study and an empirical investigation was done to identify if any relationship existed
between the instructional leadership ofthe principal and COLT in schools. From the findings it
became apparent that such a relationship did exist. Schools where principals neglected such
instructional leadership roles were more susceptible to perpetuate the erosion of the culture of
teaching and learning (COLT), whereas principals who do fulfil their instructional tasks tend to
alleviate the erosion of COLT.
The educational implications of the findings are discussed and guidelines are provided to assist
school principals in attaining their roles as effective instructional leaders. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Educational Management)

Educator stress is a major problem worldwide. This study focuses on the role of the principal in the secondary school in providing support and assisting educators manage work-related stress, with particular reference to schools in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. The problem was investigated by means of a literature study and empirical investigation. The literature identified perspectives on educators' stress, the stress process of the educator and the principal, causes of work-related stress in educators and coping strategies. Furthermore, principals' leadership styles, theories of motivation and causes of principals' stress were discussed. A qualitative inquiry using focus group interviews was undertaken with a small sample of secondary school educators selected by purposeful sampling. Findings suggested that educator stress was caused by a lack of learner discipline; deterioration in educational standards; workload; policy changes; promotion procedures and the principal's leadership style. Based on the findings, recommendations were made for improvement of practice. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Education Management)
